00:00🎵
00:31A year to the day.
00:52No, no, no, no. No, not straight on in.
00:55No, you need to use a cloth.
00:57You don't want to be walking down the aisle in shiny kegs, do you, bud?
01:01This is Dev talking, this.
01:03You used to say that ironing was bourgeois.
01:06Bourgeois, my love. And I've evolved.
01:09You want to look your best for your Uncle Paul, don't you, darling?
01:16What's up? Has the cat got your tongue?
01:20Hey.
01:23You're not yourself, love. What's going on?
01:26He's sad. We're all sad.
01:30No, there's something else.
01:33Are you scared?
01:35Churches, they're awful places. They're all smells and bells.
01:40What if I cry?
01:42Mate, we'll probably all cry.
01:45Do you know where I'm gonna go?
01:49Never mind your nan.
01:52Listen, Paul weren't just my brother, yeah?
01:55He was my twin, so he weren't just your uncle.
01:57He was my twinkle.
01:59Yeah.
02:01So it goes deeper with us, yeah?
02:04So we just do what we can.
02:07Listen, your dad will have a word with your auntie Fiz.
02:10You'll be fine there. OK?
02:18Miss Klatt.
02:20Sorry, I was just...
02:22Give me a moment.
02:24Understandable.
02:26Memnun oldum.
02:27I'm Emilia Demir.
02:29I'm the CEO of Emilia Aid Cosmetic.
02:32The hospital has been giving me regular updates.
02:35Well, I'm glad somebody's getting them, cos I'm not.
02:37The company would like to cover the cost of your accommodation
02:40whilst Bethany's in hospital.
02:42The hotel bill is a drop in the ocean.
02:46Aye, still. It's one less concern.
02:49The hospital is charging us £2,000 a day,
02:52which you must know Bethany can't be a first VIP.
02:55This is unprecedented.
02:57I have complete strangers back home who are digging deep.
03:00And all you care about is your bottom line, which is fine, OK?
03:03I just want this nightmare to end.
03:07Bethany gave her consent.
03:09What, to almost dying?
03:10The risks of liposuction surgery are clearly spelled out.
03:14Bak, budar.
03:16Bethany signed her consent.
03:19Your daughter is an intelligent woman.
03:22She did her research.
03:24We deeply regret the outcome.
03:27But our offer of accommodation is more than generous,
03:30given the circumstances.
03:33But, Miss Platt, we are not in the bazaar.
03:37This is a one-time offer.
03:40You should accept it.
03:46Kate.
03:47Hiya. What's your plan? Are you headed straight to the church?
03:50Sure was. Bernie said why.
03:52You know, it can wait.
03:54Spill.
03:56Well, you know, Joel and I were planning our wedding.
03:59You being chased for money?
04:01We'd paid a few deposits, you know, venue, honeymoon.
04:04It's all a random.
04:06He'd already beat me to it.
04:08Last week.
04:10So you tell me, how many suicidal men
04:14want to die with money in the bank?
04:17Well, I'm by the funeral directors now,
04:19so I'll be ten minutes.
04:21All right, bye.
04:24Kate, I'm, er, I'm glad I caught up with you.
04:27We've, er...
04:29We had a wit round at the station.
04:32Paul's M&E group.
04:34Nice one.
04:36I'll make sure they get it.
04:39Any word on Dearing's second car?
04:41Well, I've asked for A&PR tracers on both vehicles.
04:44Just be good to know which one he powers up first.
04:48Well, they won't keep you.
04:50Pass on our condolences, won't you?
04:52Yeah, will do.
04:53A disco hearse.
04:55It's a new one on me.
04:57Not camp at all.
04:59Coolio, like the man himself.
05:01It's a Bobby Dazzler, all right.
05:04Well, for a boy racer named after a rocket,
05:07I'd say it's spot on.
05:15HE SIGHS
05:19Oh, gracious God.
05:22Nothing in death or life,
05:26nothing in this world as it is,
05:29nothing in this world as it shall be,
05:34nothing in all creation
05:37shall separate us from your love.
05:44HE SIGHS
05:53Where's Joseph?
05:55Oh, he's up for his ears.
05:57He... He was...
05:58Too much?
06:00Poor lad.
06:01He'll be grand.
06:03What about you two?
06:05You OK?
06:06Yeah.
06:07We'll be grand and all, won't we?
06:11Shall we crack on, then?
06:13After you.
06:18Mum, going AWOL.
06:21Least we know it's serious, though.
06:23I mean, she loves a funeral.
06:24Get a lot of rest, darling, please.
06:27She says thank you.
06:29All right, you too.
06:31Bye.
06:33I tell you, what a piece of work.
06:36Was that the actual owner?
06:38CEO, apparently.
06:39She's messing with the wrong family here, I'm telling you that.
06:42Who are you? Reggie Craig?
06:44You're no swaying turkey, Gran, or anywhere for that matter.
06:47Yes, well, the only thing she cares about is her lovely reputation,
06:50so that's what we've got to trash, believe me.
06:54Summer flight, says Benny. Half-term would be better.
06:56Better than those stupid holiday clubs.
06:59That stupid holiday club cost me an arm and a leg.
07:01Anyway, Mrs, you are cruising for a late night. Come on.
07:04So am I, then. Pamela have tripped her book arrest.
07:07You know that's off the cards.
07:09Darren'll forget about us.
07:10It's not fair.
07:11Blame Melina. She's the one putting the book to her lips.
07:14Blame you two. Mum!
07:15Shh! Your mum's in bed. She's not feeling too good.
07:18Mum never gets ill.
07:19Right, just leave her.
07:20Hungover. Check the recycling.
07:22She's not hungover. She's just got a dicky tummy.
07:25She ate three bags of Monster Munch last night.
07:27Cravings.
07:28She's pregnant. Can you imagine at her age?
07:31Well, she's not too old.
07:32I would die.
07:33Don't be like that.
07:34Oh, the shame.
07:35Now you're just being mean.
07:36Why do you care? It's not like she is.
07:39Oh, my God, she is.
07:41She isn't.
07:42You are a rubbish liar.
07:43No way, Dad.
07:44Now I've got a dicky tummy.
07:46Really?
07:47We're going to have a little brother or sister that lives with us.
07:49Right, shh.
07:50Shh, OK?
07:51Listen, you can't tell us all, right?
07:54Not Nana or Granny Cassie or any of your friends.
07:58Right, I'm trusting you two to be mature, OK?
08:00So don't let me down.
08:03Mmm.
08:06Right, pallbearers.
08:09Paul.
08:11Where's David?
08:16Come on.
08:21Oh, you're a handsome devil.
08:23No wonder he fell for you.
08:27This was a huge mistake.
08:29No, it wasn't.
08:30Yeah, it was.
08:31Banging heads with Bernie.
08:33She's his mother.
08:35I should have just let her have it her way
08:37rather than ramming all this dogma down her...
08:39No, stop.
08:42What would Paul say now?
08:46He'd say,
08:48give your head a wobble, Vicar.
08:51So...
08:54you'll do him proud, eh?
08:57Yeah.
09:05All right, kids.
09:06Hands up who here's lifted a coffin before.
09:12Right, well, this isn't going to look weird at all.
09:26Oh, my God.
09:36Oh, my God.
09:44I don't know where else to go.
09:49It is for our Lord to judge you.
09:53Not me.
09:54So don't budge, don't booze,
09:57and keep your mitts out of the collection box.
09:59All right.
10:00And whatever you do,
10:01do not let the family see you.
10:25Welcome to this celebration of the life of Apollo Foreman.
10:31Paul to his friends.
10:35For those who are able,
10:36please stand as we receive Paul's coffin into the church.
10:54Come on.
11:12Is this really happening?
11:15It is, darling.
11:17It's all chin up.
11:19Chesticles out.
11:21Mum, you can't say chesticles in church.
11:23I just did.
11:25Come on, we've got this.
11:54Now, this church, St Mary's,
11:59it holds a very special place in our hearts.
12:06A year ago, today,
12:11Paul could still walk
12:15with a little help of his own.
12:18Paul could still walk
12:22with a little help.
12:25He could still speak
12:28and sing
12:31and hug.
12:34And on that day,
12:39we got married.
12:40We got married.
12:44So today, we...
12:47What are we going to say?
12:48Well,
12:50it isn't goodbye.
12:52It's au revoir.
12:57Because I know that when our time comes,
13:01we will meet Paul again in heaven.
13:06Paul as we remember him.
13:10Singing and dancing
13:14and skinny dipping
13:17to his heart's content.
13:20And I hope that that brings you all as much comfort as it does me.
13:27I could stand here and reel off a list of facts.
13:31Born here, educated there, but
13:36you all know all of that.
13:38And what you don't know,
13:41you could ask his bezzy mate
13:44and twin sister, Gemma.
13:46Or his loyal, feisty mother,
13:50Bernie.
13:51Or his adopted daughter, Summer, who
13:56he cherished
13:58as if she were his own.
14:01Or his not-so-little brother, Kit, who
14:04arrived out of the blue
14:06and has made a huge impression on Paul
14:09in only a short few months.
14:13So it's not facts that I want to celebrate today.
14:16It's...
14:19It's how Paul
14:21made us all feel.
14:25About how he lit up a room
14:28when he used to bounce in.
14:31And how he believed with every atom
14:36of his being
14:38that we are all equal.
14:42How a bishop should be the first one to brew up
14:46or get the drinks in,
14:48like every other bod in the squad.
14:52Or how
14:54silenced children should be listened to.
14:59And how everything was better with a laugh.
15:06Now, I do have a tendency to preach.
15:10But in my defence,
15:12it is part of the job description.
15:15Paul used to say
15:17you need to sugar the medicine.
15:20His life was
15:22serious.
15:24Dark
15:25at times.
15:28But he would never
15:30be a victim.
15:32Just like his hero, Jackie Chan, whenever life
15:36chopped him down,
15:38he would just get up
15:40again
15:41and again
15:43and again.
15:46Always with a smile.
15:50Simply put,
15:54the universe was a better place
15:58with Apollo Foreman in it.
16:02Now,
16:04the naughty step, it wasn't invented
16:07when the twins were at school,
16:09so Paul spent most of his time
16:11sat outside Mrs. Farnell's office
16:14waiting for a telling off.
16:16Normally for someone I don't.
16:20So in memory of
16:22those more innocent times,
16:26we're going to sing this hymn.
16:27All Things Bright
16:29and Beautiful.
16:48You okay, hon?
16:52I suppose you're used to it, aren't you?
16:54Because my family's in the business.
16:55Because my family's in the business?
16:5934.
17:01It's nothing.
17:11You couldn't have had a better send-off, Billy.
17:14Yeah, it was beautiful.
17:15And we're praying for you.
17:17Thanks.
17:23She's just having a moment.
17:26Too much smells and bells.
17:28No.
17:31It's real, that's all.
17:34Yeah, I'd forgotten how much
17:36I love a good sing-song, Bill.
17:50Oh, sorry. No, don't go.
17:52Sorry.
17:53It's Joseph.
17:54Yeah, no, he's...
17:56He's upstairs.
17:57They've got your old dartboard out.
17:59How's he been?
18:00Teary?
18:01No, not at all, you know.
18:03He's such a good kid.
18:06I wonder if our Ches are due a swap.
18:08I think Chesney's had enough nappies.
18:11Don't.
18:14I can't stop thinking, you know.
18:17Me too.
18:19Massive news, innit?
18:22My age.
18:24I'm trying not to let that, like,
18:26overshadow everything.
18:28I mean, when you think about it,
18:30it's like a last-minute-of-extra-time penalty.
18:33It's a gift.
18:37I can't do it.
18:40I don't think
18:42we've got the space.
18:44I don't think we've got the money.
18:46They're not reasons to...
18:47And more than anything,
18:48I don't think I've got the energy to hide.
18:51Why don't we just think about it?
18:53I am tired, like, all the time.
18:56And I feel rotten in the mornings.
18:58It's only a matter of time
19:00before the girls suss,
19:01and then I'll have Hans in my...
19:03There's...
19:04They know.
19:06Hope guessed.
19:08What? So you deny it?
19:10Yeah, I tried.
19:11Well, you didn't try very hard.
19:12I did.
19:13Tyrone, did you do that on purpose?
19:15Like, to try...
19:16No, no, no.
19:17They've promised me
19:18they're not gonna blab.
19:19Well, Hope can't hold her own water, can she?
19:23What am I gonna say to them now
19:24if they're, like...
19:25If they're all excited?
19:29What?
19:31What is it? What's that?
19:33Nothing.
19:34Come on.
19:36Don't cover for her. What is it?
19:40She might be minding it
19:41for a friend or something.
19:47How dare you?
19:50With your crocodile tears.
19:52I came to show my respect.
19:54Show your respects?
19:56You came to wallow,
19:57make it all about yourself.
19:58Straight up.
19:59You couldn't even put a clean shirt on.
20:02You stink like a brewery.
20:04I'm sorry, Billy.
20:06I'll get one of the lads to pat him down
20:07before you chuck him out.
20:09There's no need.
20:10No, do.
20:12He's probably pinched a few purses
20:13when he snuck in.
20:15I...
20:16I told him he could stay.
20:17There was...
20:18There was a couple of minutes to go.
20:19He was in a proper state.
20:20I just figured that
20:22chucking him out would have caused a scene.
20:24Let her who's without sin
20:25cast the first stone, eh?
20:27Is that what your Bible says, Vicar?
20:29Don't you twist my words.
20:31It's too late.
20:32You've already nailed your colours to the mast.
20:34I'm not picking sides.
20:36So we just sweep all these nasty feelings
20:38under a pew?
20:39To...
20:40To keep the focus on Paul.
20:41Exactly.
20:42And have you forgotten
20:43what this rat did
20:44last time he saw his son?
20:45No.
20:46Oh, he got him bladdered,
20:47gave him pneumonia,
20:48tried to steal the wheelchair
20:49from underneath him.
20:51As if I'd forget.
20:52It was the wrong body in that coffin.
20:53It should have been you.
20:55That is uncalled for.
20:56Yeah, but who'd be here to mourn you, eh?
20:58A couple of pawnbrokers
20:59and the landlord from the Dog and Gun.
21:01You can't help yourself,
21:02even on a sad day like this.
21:04A beautiful service ruined.
21:06Good work, Denzel,
21:07even for you.
21:17Anything for a quiet life, eh, Bill?
21:20You're grieving,
21:21but you're not daft.
21:23Thank Christ my boy
21:24isn't here to see this.
21:26You didn't have the monopoly, Bernie.
21:29Half his life you were off the radar.
21:33You what?
21:34Nearly 15 years.
21:38I was there when it mattered.
21:40It's not a competition.
21:41It's not a competition.
21:42It's not a competition.
21:43It's not a competition.
21:44It's not a competition.
21:45At the end.
21:48One morning,
21:50on the end of the phone,
21:51compared to the hundreds of mornings
21:53that we spent together.
21:55And you can lash out all you like,
21:57but you can't take those away.
21:59If you say so.
22:01I told him how much I loved him.
22:03He knew that I meant...
22:04He was already dead, Billy.
22:16You're lying to me.
22:19You are.
22:20Bernie, why are you lying?
22:22I shouldn't have said anything.
22:23Now's not the time.
22:26I'm sorry.
22:27Just wipe it from your brain.
22:29Bernie,
22:30please,
22:31tell me that you're lying.
22:34Look, I'm not lying.
22:36I'm not lying.
22:38I'm not lying.
22:40I'm not lying.
22:42I'm not lying.
22:44Look, I'm sorry, Billy, but...
22:47letting Denny into the funeral like that,
22:49it threw me.
22:50You don't know what he did to me.
22:51This is no patch on what you're doing to me right now.
22:56It's what you say.
22:58The last time I spoke to him,
23:01when I said my final goodbyes to my Paul,
23:03what? He was...
23:05He was already dead.
23:06Look, this isn't doing anyone any favours.
23:10You're only going to torture yourself.
23:12Really.
23:14I thought that was your job.
23:18We need to get going.
23:21I wish I didn't know this.
23:24I wish you'd have lied.
23:26Because what I don't know can't hurt me.
23:27And this,
23:29this is killing me.
23:31You really are something else.
23:33Do you know that?
23:34No.
23:41No, there's no news yet, I'm afraid, is there?
23:44Is it true, though?
23:47What, that I've definitely had life-saving surgery
23:49while in a foreign country?
23:50Yeah, it is true.
23:52Did she really have liposuction and it went wrong,
23:55and that's the real reason that we've all been fundraising?
23:58Are you joking?
23:59What were that?
24:00Well...
24:01Liposuction?
24:02Where do you hear that?
24:04I was looking on Audrey's social media.
24:06Audrey's got social media?
24:08She's posted a message on the company's webpage
24:10having a go at them for what they did to her granddaughter.
24:15You can always rely on a silver surfer for gossip.
24:17Blimey.
24:19She said she's got a lifelong condition
24:22because of what you did.
24:25She must have thought it was a DM.
24:28Who died and made you, Jessica Fletcher?
24:33Takes less muscles to smile than frown, you know.
24:36You should try it sometime.
24:38Especially you.
24:39You cheeky little...
24:40Are you looking to get grounded or what?
24:42What have I done now?
24:44Does this look familiar?
24:45Dunno, what is it?
24:46Oh, don't play innocent with me, Hope Dobs.
24:48You know exactly what this is, it's a vape.
24:50Oh, yeah.
24:51Looks like the sort the corner shop sell.
24:53Mic drop.
24:55You promised you'd stopped.
24:56What's the biggie?
24:57It's dangerous, that's the biggie.
24:59We've been through all this.
25:01At least I'm not doing drugs.
25:03You'll never guess what Bianca James filmed herself doing in chemistry last week.
25:07I am not interested in Bianca James, right?
25:10It's really bad for your vaping.
25:12I can't believe you'd waste good money on poisoning your lungs.
25:15No money changed hands.
25:17You what?
25:19You stole this?
25:21Have you seen how much Dev charges?
25:23It's daylight robbery.
25:24You really expect me to pay?
25:25How do you think your Nana's gonna react, eh?
25:27Knowing that you've been nicking from her place of work.
25:29I'm gonna take you round there, you're gonna confess and you're gonna pay it all back.
25:35I can't believe Jenny's made curryed egg and a pineapple hedgehog.
25:38Oh, she's very stuck in the 70s, style-wise, is our Jen.
25:41If you're ever trying to emulate a Farrah Fawcett flick, bless her.
25:44Must be like looking in a mirror.
25:46Cheeky.
25:48So how long's this free bar going on then?
25:50Until Carla rocks up and asks for her credit card back.
25:53Blimey.
25:54She must have been quite fond of Paul.
25:56Yeah.
25:57Poor Gemma, eh?
25:58She must be in bits.
26:00Do you know what?
26:01Stays like this makes me glad we've got each other, eh?
26:04You're not wrong, cock.
26:06No.
26:11Bernie, have you seen Billy anywhere?
26:13Yeah. Yeah, he's right here.
26:15Wearing one of them invisibility cloaks.
26:17Right.
26:18I won't worry about it, love.
26:20He's often late for stuff, isn't he?
26:22You alright, Bernie?
26:23Or maybe...
26:25..he's having a pint with Denny somewhere,
26:28seeing as they're best mates all of a sudden.
26:30Can you not just let that go now?
26:33OK.
26:35Right, total disclosure.
26:39I might have said how...
26:42..when he thought that Paul could hear his voice at the end, that...
26:48Um, what?
26:50..that he'd already passed.
26:53But I didn't mean to.
26:55It's just I was that riled by seeing him cosy up to your dad.
27:01Oh, me and me big mouth.
27:04Um...
27:08And what are you looking at?
27:11I've just laid my son to rest.
27:13Billy's just laid his husband to rest and all.
27:15Oh, sorry.
27:16Didn't realise you'd got a new job.
27:18Eh?
27:19As Billy's cheerleader.
27:22Better get your pom-poms out.
27:30I'm so sorry, love.
27:33Right, I owe you a big drink. What do you want, Bill?
27:36What are you looking so miserable for?
27:38Hmm?
27:40Supposed to be a celebration of Paul's life.
27:43Yeah, come on, Shaunie, line him up.
27:45Throat like a desert wellie.
27:48HE SIGHS
27:51It's like being out of wake.
27:55Go on, then.
27:56Here, say something nice about my lovely Paul, Glenda, go on.
28:00Yes, love.
28:02No, go on, you go first. Go on, say something nice.
28:05You don't really know him, Bill.
28:08Small community.
28:10Well...
28:12..whenever he came in here, no matter what were going on,
28:15he always gave me the biggest smile.
28:18And not everyone does, you know.
28:20And I appreciated it, you know.
28:22Yeah, I do.
28:25Well, go on, then.
28:27Say some things, remember him.
28:30Reminisce.
28:40Oh, hiya.
28:41Yeah, everyone's taking full advantage of your credit card in there, so...
28:44Oh, that's all right, then.
28:46I was going to come and enjoy him, but, er...
28:48Don't bring him into this. I know the feeling.
28:51I might go to the bistro for a quick one.
28:54Just quiet, you know. Thanks for coming.
28:56Yeah.
29:05It's just...wotsits and them little cheesy biscuits you like.
29:09Smashing.
29:11Should have tied us over till tea. Mm.
29:15What are we going to do about Hope?
29:17Oh, I don't know.
29:19Can't we just get her a personality transplant?
29:23Oh, I can't cope with it, Ty.
29:26It's not easy. Easy?
29:29When's that girl ever been easy, eh?
29:33There shouldn't be reason to give up on this pregnancy.
29:39Do you think I feel like this cos I can't cope with Hope?
29:43I can.
29:45That's not why I...
29:50Sorry, I don't...
29:52I don't want to talk about it. It's too much.
29:54Right, OK, OK.
29:58So you are, like, conflicted?
30:00Of course I am, yes.
30:03But I don't think we've got any choice.
30:06We've got two. We've got two choices.
30:10We can't keep this baby.
30:14I'm sorry, I wish things were different.
30:16I do, but they're not, so...
30:25On your face
30:29You are content to let me shine
30:34That's your way
30:37You always walk to step behind
30:44I used to like this one, you know?
30:47Used to get me to sing it at night
30:49Did I ever tell you you're my hero
30:53He's got a lovely voice.
30:55Bit pitchy.
30:59Do you think he's all right?
31:01Are any of us all right, Gemma?
31:03Probably not.
31:05We just have to find a way to move forward.
31:13I want to talk to you.
31:16Seriously.
31:17Make it right.
31:19I'm the last person you want to talk to.
31:22Really?
31:25Listen, why don't I walk you home, eh?
31:27I'll make you a nice cup of tea.
31:29Well, I could take you back to your flat, you know.
31:31We could have a chat.
31:33You didn't waste any time, did you?
31:35Huh?
31:37Come on, just have a little laugh.
31:39What are you trying to molly call me for?
31:41I'm here babysitting.
31:47What are you all looking at?
31:50I've got a telly on me head.
31:52Billy, where are you going?
31:54I'm going home.
31:56I'm going to get on Grindr.
32:00Come on, I'm just having a laugh.
32:02Paul would have laughed at that, you know,
32:04because I've got a sense of humour unlike you miserable lot.
32:08Will you go after him?
32:10Go on, Tod, he needs a friend.
32:15Yeah, it's all unfair, isn't it?
32:17The good ones always go first.
32:19Mm.
32:20I must be evil.
32:22Snap.
32:23Hm.
32:26I've only just got married, you know.
32:29Oh, I don't know why I'm feeling so sorry for myself.
32:31I mean, there's a pub up the road that's full of people much worse off than me,
32:35and I can't even face them today.
32:38Well, we'll just hunker down here, then.
32:40Hunker in our bunker?
32:42Yeah.
32:43Hunker in our bunker.
32:48There you are.
32:50Come on, let's get you back to the flat.
32:52No, I don't want to go back.
32:54What's the point of going back?
32:57You know, there's this mug,
33:00his aftershave, his battered old trainers,
33:03but there's no Paul.
33:05I can't stop here forever.
33:07It's not south-facing, for a start.
33:10And where are you going to hang all your heavenly prints?
33:12You know, the ones with all the inspirational sayings?
33:15In this house, we...
33:17Live, laugh, loathe.
33:30The last thing that Paul heard me say
33:35can't have been,
33:37had me to go and find my phone, can it?
33:40Could be worse, you know.
33:42Could have been having a row and the last thing he said was bugger off.
33:45Screw you, Paul Foreman.
33:47Screw you.
33:49Don't.
33:52You've got to count your blessings.
33:54Maybe he chose to go when he wanted to go.
33:58Maybe like that was the last thing he said.
34:01Normal, every day.
34:04Not some Steven Spielberg moment with a full orchestra and fireworks
34:09and a crying dog.
34:12I just felt so guilty about missing his final moments.
34:18The only thing stopping me from spiralling
34:21was knowing that he'd heard me on the phone.
34:28I don't even have that.
34:32You know, without that, what have I got, you know?
34:38Your good friend, low-cost vodka?
34:40It is a bit.
34:48I always thought that hope was only a heartbeat away.
34:55Cos without hope, you know, what have we got?
34:59You know what? What is the opposite of hope?
35:03Fear.
35:06It's to be frightened of.
35:08Worse happened.
35:10It's despair.
35:30There we go. I'll stop you.
35:32Oh, thanks, love, very much to her.
35:34Well, I'm glad that you made it, eh?
35:36A send-off wouldn't be a send-off without Weatherfield royalty,
35:39and I'm staring her right in the face.
35:41Well, Gemma's practically part of my flesh and blood.
35:45As Ross Paul, her twin, we lived together for a bit.
35:51But neither bribed nor reasoned sometimes, is there?
35:55But neither bribed nor reasoned sometimes, is there?
35:59Is Dave all right over there?
36:01Oh, you don't want to know, cock.
36:03I'll leave you to it.
36:05Wish your gran had hurry up and got here.
36:07Why?
36:08Well, it's ironic, don't you think?
36:11All right, Alanis Morissette, keep here we go.
36:14Don't let him wind you up.
36:16Well, ironic that our Paul died and did nothing wrong,
36:20and yet your family are passing the cap round
36:23to raise funds for Bethany, and surprise, surprise,
36:26she brought it all on herself.
36:28Hey, that's bang out of order, that, Bernie.
36:30Is it? Are you sure about that?
36:32Only I didn't realise that liposuction
36:35was a life-saving treatment.
36:37She's gravely ill. Does it matter how she got there?
36:39Well, first-class flights and a tote full of sun cream,
36:42from what I've heard.
36:43Yeah, don't rise to it, yeah? She's grieving.
36:45Railing!
36:47That's what I am. I am railing at the injustice of it all.
36:52Hey, you want to get your money back off these charlatans?
36:55Well, there's no need for that.
36:57Yeah, give it to an MND charity instead.
37:00Go on, ask for it back.
37:02Oh! Oh, here she is, the whistleblower.
37:06Oh, sorry, what have I missed?
37:08Bernie, my love, I am so sorry for your loss.
37:11I'd get your handbag out if I was you, girl.
37:14I've got one word to say to you.
37:16Refund!
37:18When you messaged the company that Bethany used...
37:21You know, for the lipo?
37:24Yeah, when you thought you were DMing them, you weren't.
37:27You sent it publicly, so everybody saw it.
37:30Really? Yeah.
37:32Oh!
37:34Oh, I hate David.
37:39Let's take the weight off, eh?
37:42Over here.
37:44HE GROANS
37:49HE SIGHS
37:53You've drunk it all.
37:57I know.
38:00It's my favourite word at the moment.
38:03Yeah, you and Oliver Twist.
38:05HE SIGHS
38:09HE SIGHS
38:13HE SIGHS
38:17You know...
38:19Paul died...
38:21..knowing he was loved.
38:25Knowing he was loved by you.
38:27And...
38:29..that final moment was...
38:32..just that.
38:34Just one tiny little moment.
38:36Amidst millions of moments across your relationship.
38:42Like a big, massive jigsaw with...
38:45..so many pieces.
38:48And that was just one little corner.
38:53You really shouldn't beat yourself up about it.
38:57This jigsaw might be finished...
39:01HE SIGHS
39:03..but it's perfect.
39:06When you step back and look at it...
39:09..and you, I've got so much to live for now.
39:14One day you'll see, Billy, the world's your oyster.
39:19And it'll be there with you.
39:21Just...
39:23..just...
39:25..in a different way.
39:27You really are too kind.
39:30I never thought I'd say that about you.
39:32Don't be ridiculous, it's all an act.
39:34It's just my job.
39:38I'm a closet nice guy.
39:44I just want you to be happy.
39:49What are you doing?
39:54I don't know, I just... I thought...
39:56Billy, no, no, this is not what you want. Not at all.
40:01HE SIGHS
40:05Look, Grant, nothing could be worse than what's going on here,
40:08so come on, just spit it out.
40:11Everybody knows the truth.
40:13Everybody knows that Bethany's over there to get liposuction.
40:18And, um, there's quite a few that aren't happy
40:21because they've been given money they feel on false presences, you know?
40:26How did they find out?
40:28I am sorry, I was only just trying to help.
40:31Oh, Grant, what did you do?
40:33Well, I DM'd on the company's website,
40:36complaining about what had gone on.
40:39But it wasn't a DM.
40:41I put it on the clinic wall and my wall for everyone to see.
40:46Well, David thinks I need a digital detox.
40:51I'm sorry, sweetheart, I was trying to help, honestly.
40:55I mean, how bad is it? Can the clinic not delete the post?
40:58Um, well, they have.
41:00Oh, well, that's good.
41:02Yes, but there have been some screen thingies.
41:05Screenshots? Yes.
41:07And... And?
41:10Well, some nasty comments.
41:13Right.
41:15I actually had to look up a few of the words.
41:19Bethany's going to have to face the wrath of the pub crowd
41:22when she gets back, along with fighting pneumonia and sepsis.
41:28Of course, I've thought about it.
41:32I've thought about nothing else.
41:35I've pictured how...
41:37..how it could all look, like...
41:40..five years from now.
41:42Or ten.
41:44Or 20.
41:49And it's... It's too much.
41:53It wouldn't be fair on the new little one and it wouldn't be fair on us.
41:57We've already got enough plates to spin.
42:00We're barely keeping our heads above water as it is.
42:07We are not at the right point in our lives to have a new baby, Ty.
42:11We're not.
42:14And I think you'd normally agree with me, I do, but...
42:18..Darren, he's...
42:20..he's put you in a spin.
42:24Yeah.
42:26Yeah, if I'm honest, I'm...
42:28I've been using all this news as a bit of a distraction from Darren.
42:34But I get it. I do. Yeah, I get it.
42:38So, er...
42:40..an abortion's what we'll do, then.
42:44Oh, Dad!
42:49SHE SNIFFS
42:53Why did you even come back here?
42:55To check you're OK.
42:57God, you're just fluttering your eyelashes.
42:59I saw you.
43:02I'm surprised you've even kept the keks on this long.
43:04I'm a grieving widower. I know you are.
43:06I'm talking about... Which is why...
43:08Jigsaw's trying to butter me up.
43:10I didn't misread the signs.
43:12You just got stage fright.
43:14There's no need to be like that, Billy.
43:16Stop being so flaming reasonable!
43:19Just get out!
43:21You don't mean that. No, don't I?
43:23Do you? Get out!
43:26Please!
43:34Please.
43:47I'm sorry.
43:51I'm so sorry.
44:16I'm sorry.
